In South America, approximately 14 million are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, and in Brazil, around three million individuals are on chronic phase arising from infections acquired in the past. From the immunological perspective, it was demonstrated that activation of macrophages by T. cruzi results in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such that the components formed by the …
The natural American trypanosomiasis transmission spreads over an area comprising the south of the United States until the province of Chubut in Argentina, though the triatomids presence isn't restricted to the American continent. Today more than 137 triatomine species are known and although all species are potentially Trypanosoma cruzi transmitters, only a few are important in public hea…
Chagas disease (CD) is an infectious disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, classified by the World Health Organization not only as a neglected disease, but a public health problem in Latin America. This character is mainly due to the importance of prophylaxis in controlling the disease, since its treatment still proves to be quite challenging, with a single option available f…
Chagas disease is an infectious disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi protozoan, classified by the World Health Organization not only as a neglected infirmity but as also a public health issue in Latin America. This character is mainly due the relevance of prevention in the control of the disease since its treatment still shows itself in a very challenging way. Despite the fact that the mai…

Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, which exhibits an acute phase with high parasitaemia and a chronic phase that causes injury in the cardiac nerve plexus, myenteric and esophageal. These damages are caused by the immune response of the host and by the aerobic metabolism of the parasite, generating reactive-oxygen species (ROSs) and reactive-nitrogen species (RNSs). Therefore,…
